Abstract

Food trucks had become the popular choice for an entrepreneur starting a new business with

low investment and risk taken. Coffee production in the Philippines began as early as 1740 when the

Spanish introduced coffee in the islands. It was once a major industry in the Philippines, which 200

years ago was the fourth largest coffee-producing nation. The Philippines is one of the few countries

that produce the four main viable coffee varieties.

Caffe Diverso is a coffee truck that offers different varieties of coffee in a budget-friendly.

The coffee truck will be located near the city hall of Phase II Kapitan Pepe Cabanatuan City and Del

Pilar St. Sangitan around Freedom Park Cabanatuan City. The theme of the coffee truck is what the

teens call “instagrammable” or just a chill and relaxing vibe around the truck. The Misson of Caffe

Diverso is “A Café-Truck, brewing and serving a budget-friendly freshest cup of coffee. While

Vision is “To be one of the best-loved local coffee truck businesses around Cabanatuan City, Nueva

Ecija by the year 2026.”

Moreover, this study can be used in various ways which focus on the proposed business. It

tells us whether a project is worth it or not.

Chapter I

Summary of the Project

1.1 Name of the Firm: Caffé Diverso

The researchers decided to name the business “Caffé Diverso”, an Italian word that translates in

English as “Different Coffee”. It is a coffee truck that offers different varieties of coffee.

The researchers proposed the business name “Caffé Diverso” and the logo which is shown

in figure 1, the researchers believe that the logo will create a big impact on customers’ minds

and will be easily known by the customers as the image of the “Caffé Diverso”.
A Feasibility Study: Caffé Diverso 14

The Tagline of the Business

The researchers' proposed tagline for the business is “Wheeling” to serve your best choice

of coffee”.

The tagline describes the unique selling proposition as it emphasizes that Caffe Diverso is a

Coffee Truck, that they can make a way to reach their customers and properly serve a variety

of coffee. Also, it describes the quality of products and service because the researchers make

sure that they serve efficiently to the customers and make a good relationship with them.

1.2 Location

1.3 Brief Description of the project

The coffee truck will be located near the city hall of Phase II Kapitan Pepe Cabanatuan City

and Del Pilar St. Sangitan around Freedom Park Cabanatuan City, the researchers thought that it

would be a good place because there’s are lots of people who like to do activities there such as jog,

walk, and even learn how to drive and by that the Coffee Truck could be the place where they can go

to just relax and have some coffee after the tiring activities they did for the day. The product that will

be offered will definitely be affordable and budget-friendly for the target market. The theme that the

researchers will go for in the coffee truck is what the teens call “instagrammable” or just a chill and

relaxing vibe around the truck, the researchers thought that it would be a good idea because people

nowadays tend to go in the place that they think they can have a beautiful background for their

pictures to post on their social media accounts.

1.4 Project Summary

1.4.3 Management Feasibility

The sole owner is Mr. Patrick Chan Jr, the one who is responsible for financing the

coffee truck business. The capital that he will invest is from his personal savings that he saved

from his previous work in UAE for 7 years. The proposed business has 2 employees to

operate the preparations of the products that the proposed business will offer and to assist the

customers.

Introduction/ Background of the Study

This chapter includes a short explanation of why the subject matter for a feasibility study was

chosen. The objectives of the study will be presented. The operational definition of a term used in the

study. As well as the scope and limitations of the study.

2.1 Brief Background of the Study

2.1.1 Introduction

Coffee is a hot drink made from the roasted and ground seeds of a tropical shrub, but the

researchers believe that coffee is more than just a drink, it’s a culture, an economy, art, and

passion. Whether you’re new to the brew or an espresso expert, whether you prefer it with or

without caffeine. Coffee is part of the everyday life of people.

Ralph’s Coffee, 2017

When Ralph Lauren launched Ralph’s Coffee in 2017, they asked food truck

promotions to execute a custom mobile build-out to promote the opening of its first-

ever coffee shop at their flagship store on 5th avenue. Food truck Promotions designed

an eye-catching 1943 vintage Citroen adorned with Ralph’s Coffee branding, which

served their signature blends of coffee, espresso, and lattes to the New Yorkers

passing by. In 2018, Ralph Lauren opened a new Polo men’s store in SoHo and they

wanted to bring back the iconic Ralph’s Coffee truck. The stylist Ralph’s Coffee truck

was stationed directly in front of their new store, serving designer treats and creating ‘

insta- worthy’ moments. Since 2017, the iconic vintage Citroen coffee truck has

become a hallmark of the designer coffee brand. The original Ralph’s Coffee truck

was such a popular hit that Ralph Lauren wanted to replicate it and open a permanent

Ralph’s Coffee mobile coffee shop located at Rockefeller Plaza.

How to Start a Sustainable Coffee Truck Business

(Matt Drew’s 2019)

The study entitled “How to Start a Sustainable Coffee Truck Business”

Matt Drew was employed as a marketer in a corporate setting and found himself

less and less passionate about work. Drew also had a daughter on the way and started

to question the point of putting in 12-16 hours per day for someone else, and

ultimately wondered what his legacy would be if he continued down this path. So

Drew made the decision to change the trajectory of his life in a big way by starting a

coffee truck.

Drew said that the first step you need to take in starting a coffee truck business is

Developing a Brand before you even start thinking about the equipment, the size of

the truck to buy, or the licenses you’ll need to operate. You need to take some serious

time to consider the brand you want to grow. Daily Operation, the morning for Drew

typically starts at 3 a.m in order to get the serving windows up between 6:00- 6:30 am.

It requires waking up a few hours early to prepare for the vending location and

preparing for the service. How much does it cost to start a coffee truck, expect to

invest $ 30,000 minimum for a coffee truck that will pass your local health

inspections, has quality equipment installed, and is reliable. You could spend as much

as $90,000 depending on the equipment you select. How profitable is a coffee truck,

based on our survey of 223 full-time food truck owners, over 50% report generating at

least $150,000 in revenue per year. Coffee truck owners can expect to see similar

revenues if they operate the business full-time and establish name recognition locally.

The Coffee Mobile, 2019

As the COVID-19 pandemic spread across communities, coffee shops were among

the first businesses to be hard hit. Because of the sweeping lockdowns and strict social

distancing protocols, many closed down or only partly open for takeout. Yet in Cebu,

one of the areas hard-hit by the pandemic, a coffee place born during the height of the

lockdown is garnering some serious attention on social media. But it doesn’t have the

usual decors, feel, and ambiance of one — not even walls, windows, or doors.

Because this particular caffeine haven is mounted on wheels.


A Feasibility Study: Caffé Diverso 22

The Coffee Mobile serves three kinds of drinks, Pour-over Coffee, Cold Brew

Beverages, and Espresso Beverages, with the bestsellers being the bottled elixirs or

cold brew coffee, best paired with cookies and muffins.

It started during Cebu’s lockdown. With all that free time I had during the

lockdown, I started sharing my own personal brew recipes to our neighbors using the

little cart we built and started selling our bottled elixirs (cold brew) online,” Anzano

recalls. Currently, The Coffee Mobile serves three kinds of drinks, Pour-over Coffee,

Cold Brew Beverages, and Espresso Beverages, with the bestsellers being the bottled

elixirs or cold brew coffee, best paired with cookies and muffins.

Anzano aims to create a coffee culture through The Coffee Mobile and inspire a

growing number of coffee drinkers. Wheeled and always mobile, his movable shop

can freely stroll across different neighborhoods in the city. His coffee ventures began

with the TCM Cart, the first mobile coffee bar. It was followed by the TCM Moto Pop

up, a coffee bar, and the third and largest, a retrofitted Volkswagen Kombi that travels

to Lapu-Lapu City every Saturday for pop-up sessions.

Philippines: Coffee Market and the Impact of COVID-19 on It in the Medium Term

(William and Marshall, 2020)

According to William et al. The instant coffee market in the Philippines was

equal to 3.02 billion USD (calculated in retail prices) in 2015. Until 2025, the coffee
A Feasibility Study: Caffé Diverso 23

market in the Philippines is forecast to reach 6.66 billion USD (in retail prices), thus

increasing at a CAGR of 5.79% per annum for the period 2020-2025. This is a

decrease, compared to the growth of about 12.07% per year, registered in 2015-2019.

In general, the main aspects that have been shaping coffee consumption

include taste, pleasure, and caffeination. Particularly the instant coffee market has

been prompted by the increasing consumption coming from developing regions and

especially Asia and the Middle East. Although consumption worldwide is growing,

instant coffee still holds a relatively small share within the coffee segment.

3.2.2 Respondents of the study

The respondents of this study were people in two chosen places of Cabanatuan City,

Nueva Ecija which is the Barangay Kapitan Pepe and Del Pilar st. Sangitan Cabanatuan City

both male and female with the age of 15 to 39 years old. The researchers used Slovin’s

Formula to determine the acceptable sample size of the study.

Slovin’s Formula: Where:


N = the number of people who qualify in the area of
study
E = margin of error which is 5%
N
n= n = sample size
1+ Ne 2

From 2,973 respondents the researchers used Slovin’s Formula with a confidence level of

95% and a margin of error of 5% as the sampling method to determine the sample size of

respondents which resulted in 353 respondents

2,973
n=
1+2,973(5%) 2

years increases. By using this table, the researchers determined the number of customers who are not

catered by the existing coffee shop in the targeted location.

50 is the daily capacity of the proposed business. The researchers used the gap in determining

the target market share per year. The researchers used the average growth rate based on the RRL

which is 5.79% to determine the target market share for the next five years.

3.6 Marketing Programs/Strategies

A marketing program is a coordinated, thoughtfully designed set of activities that help you

achieve your marketing objectives. Your marketing objectives are strategic sales goals that fit your

strengths and are a good way to stretch your business in its current situation. In order to build strong

customer relationships and maximize your sales, you need to put every possible marketing tool to

work for you.


A Feasibility Study: Caffé Diverso 61

Proper marketing mix strategies are most important for any business. For it determines how the

business. The Caffe Diverso will be properly introduced and accepted by its target market. Marketing

strategies are an integrated process in which companies build strong customer relationships and

create a customer.

3.6.1 Product

The researchers offered a different variety of coffee which is black coffee, macchiato,

espresso, iced mocha, cold brew, and frappuccino.

The proponent wants to position the business in the mind of the target market as the

number one source of quality and affordable coffee in Cabanatuan City.

3.7.1.2 Brand

The most important factor that would greatly affect the marketability of the

business is its brand name. Great things lie in the name of the business because that is

the first that will capture the attention of its prospective clients.

As agreed by the proponent of the business, it will be named as “Caffe

Diverso'' which translates as “different coffee”. Caffe Diverso is a low-priced coffee

truck shop that provides convenience and offers a complex blend of different flavors

of coffee for every caffeine lover.

3.7.1.3 Competitive Advantage

Since caffé trucks are mobile, unlike coffee shops, the owner doesn't have to rely on one

location to make all of their sales. If a location doesn’t work out for whatever reason, then an owner

can simply find a different one. In simple words, unlike the physical store, coffee trucks can cater to

more than one location to sell.

3.7.1.4 Packaging

Figure 5

Sample Packaging

The proposed business used plastic cups for the cold coffee while for the hot coffee is a

disposable paper cup.

3.7.2 Pricing

The researchers adopted Cost-Plus Pricing. This approach sets the selling price based

on evaluating all variable costs that incur and adding a markup percentage for the service fee to

establish the price.

St. Sangitan around Freedom Park Cabanatuan City, which on Monday to Thursday is in Del

Pilar St. Sangitan around Freedom Park Cabanatuan City, while on Friday to Sunday the

coffee truck is in Phase II Kapitan Pepe Cabanatuan City.

3.7.4 Promotions

The researchers of the proposed project will be using different marketing strategies in

order to introduce Caffe Diverso to catch up and hook the attention of the prospective

customer.
A Feasibility Study: Caffé Diverso 65

Social Media Marketing - will be used to promote the products. This is the most used

kind of promotion nowadays that will surely reach prospective customers because nearly

everyone already knows how to use social media. Also, it is one of the best ways to promote

the products since we are currently in a global pandemic.

Figure 6 Facebook Page

Promotional Posters/Tarpaulin- the researchers will also use print ads that will be

posted and hung in some posts and walls around Phase II Kapitan Pepe and to Del Pilar St.

Sangitan around Freedom Park Cabanatuan City.

3.8 Problems that may encounter and proposed solution

New Competitors

The researchers know that in the business industry there’s always competition. All they have

to do to handle this situation is, they will highlight their differences and know their

customers’ feedback so that they can improve their product and make development.

Dealing with an angry customer

Dealing with an angry customer is an opportunity to learn, and an opportunity to turn a

negative situation into a positive customer experience. How you react to an angry customer

can make or break the perception the customer has of your brand.
A Feasibility Study: Caffé Diverso 69

Listen - Practice active listening rather than passive listening. Active listening means

concentrating on everything the customer is saying so you have a clear understanding of why

they’re upset.

Apologize - Apologies for the problem they’re having. Acknowledging the mistake and

letting the customer know you’re really sorry will go a long way. Be thorough in your

apology.

Show empathy - Empathy helps guide your response and reaction to an angry customer.

Empathy doesn’t necessarily mean agreeing with the customer. It means you truly understand

how they feel.

Maintain a calm tone of voice - Don’t let frustration get the better of you. When dealing with

an angry customer, you may be tempted to match their tone of voice. Avoid this at all costs,

as it will only make the situation worse.

Avoid negative language - When it comes to handling an angry customer, support teams must

be skillful in the language they use. The negative language will only add fuel to the fire,

whereas positive language is an ingredient to help tame a heated situation.

Supply Problem (Supplier's Poor Performance)

Once they encounter a problem with their suppliers, they will immediately look for other

suppliers, because they can't run out of stocks. They also need to have another list of people

who can be suppliers if they ever have a problem again, they won't have a hard time or can't
A Feasibility Study: Caffé Diverso 70

find it, because they are ready to get another product in case of an emergency. .In business

you can't waste time. You need to have an immediate solution to the problem.

3.9 SWOT Analysis

Strengths

● The value of the coffee is budget-friendly because the researchers want to offer them a

quality service at a low price, in that way they can attract more customers

● They have the capacity to move around and take the business in crowded places or seasonal

places. Wherever their customers are, they can go to them directly and bring them the coffee

truck.

Weaknesses

● The proposed business only has limited varieties of coffee and doesn’t offer other products.

But when it goes well, the proposed business can also offer other products in the future.

● Since the proposed business is new to the market, it is less known than the existing players in

the market.
A Feasibility Study: Caffé Diverso 71

Opportunities

● With a product such as coffee, they can potentially expand their product line by selling raw

coffee beans and other coffee-related products for higher profit margins than coffee.

● The lockdown (stay at home) because of Coronavirus (COVID-19), presents a new

opportunity for the coffee truckers. Since most people are stuck at home, and most of the

coffee shops are closed. The coffee truck can provide coffee near their customer’s locations

while properly obeying the social distancing protocol since it is an outdoor business.

Threats

● Increase in the price of Gas.

● New competitors can affect the proposed business and there's a possibility to decrease the

sales because they can offer better products than the proposed business. In that situation, the

proposed business needs to do is, highlight its differences and develop a new product or

improve its coffee.

Chapter IV

Technical Study

4.1 Objective of the Study

· To determine to what extent the proposed business meets the technical feasibility, which

includes the supply of raw materials to be used, the list of equipment and tools required for the

preparation of the product, the labor needed, and other requirements that are necessary to operate

a business.

4.2 Product

A product is a bundle of intangible and tangible attributes offered to the market. It is a tool

through which exchanges of value concurrently satisfy both the buyers’ and the sellers' needs. The

type and quality of the products will be the best determinant in finding out if the business will be able

to succeed.

4.2.1 Description of the Product


A Feasibility Study: Caffé Diverso 74

The business provides a line of coffee products, we all know that many Filipino love

different kinds of coffee. The Caffe Diverso offers two types of coffee for the target market, 3

kinds of Hot Coffee and 3 kinds of Cold Coffee. Under Hot Coffee are Black coffee,

Macchiato, and Espresso. And for Cold Coffee is Iced Mocha, Cold Brew, and Frappuccino.

HOT COFFEE

Table 48

COFFEE DESCRIPTION

COFFEE DESCRIPTION

Iced Mocha

Our rich, full-bodied espresso combined with bittersweet mocha

sauce, milk, and ice, then topped with sweetened whipped

cream.

Cold Brew Cold-brew refers to the process of preparing the coffee, not the

temperature of the final product. Beans are ground then soaked

in room temperature water for an extended period of time,

usually 12 hours or more.

4.3.1 Alternative process considered

A Standard Blender

The researchers will use a normal home blender as their alternative process for their coffee

beans. It is a great coffee grinder alternative because it comes with a blade system, which will chop

the coffee beans just like a conventional coffee grinder.

Pour Over Coffee Maker

The pour-over method involves pouring hot water through coffee grounds in a filter. The

water drains through the coffee and filters into a carafe or mug. Pour over is also known as filter

coffee or drip coffee, although these terms also include batch brewers. So you may hear it called hand

brewing or manual brewing.

This is significant as an alternative process because many believed it creates a more flavorful cup of

brew. Since it's a longer brewing process, there's a more intricate flavor extraction. The slower the

water filters through the grounds, the more flavor is extracted. It allows you to control the

temperature of the water, taste, texture, temperature, and the speed at which it goes into the grounds,

the amount of time it brews, and how much it makes.

4.4 Production Schedule

The schedule of production depends on the capacity of the business, so it is expected to

produce 50 cups of coffee daily based on the result of the research study for the willingness of the

sample participants to purchase coffee.


A Feasibility Study: Caffé Diverso 83

The production starts every 5 am to 9 pm, Mondays to Sundays.

Estimated Capacity per Day = 50 cups of coffee


The estimated daily capacity is computed as follows:

5 hrs. X 60 minutes X No. of service crew


Standard Processing time

5 hrs. X 60 minutes X 2
12
= 50

Where:

● Standard processing time = 12 minutes

● Peak Hours = (4pm to 9 pm)

= 5 hours

● Number of Crew = 2

defined as structuring and integrating various activities of people working together, or having

teamwork.

business considering every employee/worker as an individual and finding ways to maximize their

potential by using their unique skills.

The simplest form of business is the sole proprietorship, a business owned and operated by one

individual. Therefore, the ideal form of business organization for this is a sole proprietorship which

is simpler in nature compared to the other forms of business organization. Since the business has only

a limited number of staff/personnel, the proprietor will not experience having a hard time managing

it. Necessary adjustments in terms of capital and personnel will take place depending on the demand

for the business service.

Ease of Formation: Starting a sole proprietorship is much less complicated than starting a formal

corporation and also much cheaper.

Tax Benefits: The owner of a sole proprietorship is not required to file a separate business tax report.

Employment: Sole proprietorships can hire employees. This can lead to many of the benefits

associated with job creation, such as tax breaks.

Decision making: Control over all business decisions remains in the hands of the owner. The owner

can also fully transfer the sole proprietorship at any time as they deem necessary.

5.3 Capitalization
The proposed business will be financed by Mr. Patrick Chan Jr., the Sole Owner of the business
named Caffé Diverso, a Coffee Food Truck Business.

5.4 Organizational structure:

the manager/owner down to the immediate levels of subordinates. Because the line type organization

permits quick adjustment to changing situations.

CHAPTER VII

SOCIO-ECONOMIC DESIRABILITY

Socio-economic desirability is a very important factor in the determination of business

performance. It is not enough that the owner is benefited; he should also provide benefits to

all that surrounds him. The business should benefit the stakeholders especially the customers,

employees, government, and the whole community.

Internal Customers

The internal customer is the employee. Employees will be well compensated and given

benefits such as Phil Health and SSS.

Government

The enterprise can contribute taxes to the government. Taxes are used by the government

in establishing public infrastructures and in improving the economy of the country thus,

benefiting all Filipinos.

Community
A Feasibility Study: Caffé Diverso 120

The significance of the business to the community is the increase in the employment rate

of the area.

Owners/ Manager

The owner/manager will be most benefited from the establishment of the business. He will

be able to generate income from the enterprise with wise decisions he will make.

CHAPTER VIII

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

This chapter covers the derived conclusions and some recommendations to the management

for the successful continuance of its operations.

7. 1 CONCLUSION

In the analysis, it is said that there is a high percentage of customers that are willing to buy

different varieties of coffee that Caffe Diverso will offer. As these situations exist, it serves as

proof that there is a high chance that Caffe Diverso will be profitable and will be successful in

time. Even though the researchers found that the population of Del Pilar St., Sangitan is

decreasing because the growth rate is -1.59% but the projected demand will still be pulled due

to the increasing population growth rate in Phase II Kapitan Pepe which is 3%. Furthermore,

these situations prove their potential to generate greater sales.

Based on the information yielded from the research conducted, project proponents

concluded that the project is feasible.

7.2 RECOMMENDATION

The researchers recognize the fact that the estimates used in the study may be altered

through time and some unforeseen events could make production changes in the organization

of a business that is why they are recommending that further studies must be undertaken

before formally establishing a business.

The researchers recommend adding more marketing campaigns to entice more customers.

To satisfy the increasing demand of the market, the researchers recommend adding more

products to sell that will satisfy the customer’s taste.

To attract more customers, Caffe Diverso should optimize their social media page often to

significantly increase their reach and to improve the visibility of the page which can get their

business found by more potential customers.

For future researchers, the researchers recommend choosing more locations for the

business
